XX NO. 11 NEGRO VOTERS BIG PA COLORED VOTE LARGELY PUBLICAN DEFEAT TIRED OF BLIND REPUBLIC The "Colored Brother" Helps To Ohio, New York Massachu Down In The Lands Is Also Hi Washington, Nov. 10—Republican politicians are just beginning to recover from the stunning effects of the defeat of Tuesday, by which the Republican majority in Congress was turned into a Democratic victory and candidates for offices in the various States were elected. Various reasons are given for the stunning defeat of the party, but the new tariff and the high cost of living are the main reasons given. Among the other things that can be ascribed to the party's defeat was the antipathy of colored voters in the North and West to President Taft's policy in dealing with colored people. The National Independence political League, of which Rev. J. Milton Waldron, of this city is president, aided materially in encompassing the defeat of Republicans hostile to the race. The United Colored Democracy of New York help to roll up the 67,000 majority by which Dix was elected. The main cause in New York was the fact that Governor Hughes, during his four year's incumbency seemingly forgot there was any such thing as a colored Republicans in New York. Out in Missouri, the Democrats captured the legislature, and a Democrat will succeed William Warner in the Senate. As the Democrats there made a special bid for colored support, many colored men voted with them. Up in Massachusetts, Senator Henry Lodge was the storm centre and may be defeated for re-election by a combination of Democratic and Insurgent forces of the incoming legislature. The high tariff and the hostility of the colored voters to the Senator did much to elect Congressman Foss as Governor. Down in Tennessee, Ben Hooper was elected Governor on a fashion ticket. While President Taft was especially anxious to capture that State his efforts are not so much responsible as the difference which have existed since Carmack was killed by the Coopers, and the pardoning by Governor Patterson of Robin Cooper. The colored voters split their support between both of the leading parties. Senator Beveridge will probably be succeeded by John W. Kern. Kern was the Democratic candidate for vice president in 1908, and is regarded highly by the voters in the Hoosier States. Out in Oklahoma thirty election officials were arrested on federal wrrrants, charging them with denying to colored men the right to vote. The Democrats won practically all of the country offices in Cook county, Illinois. Edward D. Green, of Chicago, was the only colored candidate for the legislature, was elected. Mr.-Green has served in the legislature before. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1910 The result in Ohio is distinctly disapp inting to the friends of the administration. Thousands of colored voters were lukewarm in their support of the G. O. P. Not even the rumored appointment of Chas. A. Cottrell as Collector of Customs at Honolulu dissipated their apathy to those who they regarded as hostile to their interests. Woodow Wilson, who resigned as president of Princeton University in order to accept the Democratic nomination for Governor of New Jersey, may with Governor Harmon of Onio, loom up as a possibility for the Presidency. The Democrats made increased gains in West Virginia, and a realignment may take place if disfranchiement is not hinted at. The overturning of the Republican majority in Congress may mean that the Democrats may make a special effort to secure colored support in the next presidential election. Champ Clark, who is slated to succeed "Uncle Joe" Cannon as speaker, is said to favor the support of colored men who are desirous of dividing their votes on economic and other issues. Of course this plan may probably have the hostility of the Democrats in the South, who owe their prestige to Negro disranchisement; but the growing independence of colored men in the North and West, and the desire of white Democrats of those sections to win on live issues may force the admission of colored men to the councils of the party. PLEASURES OF ANTICIPATION Desire is Much, but Realization is Less Colorful and Pleasurable. The housewife who complained that she "had longed for ten years to possess a brass bed, but now that she can get one she discovers that she wants a Napoleon bed in mahogany," has unwittingly summed up the whole phenomenon of human life. Practically all of our pleasures come from anticipation. Realization is much less colorful and pleasurable. The woman who had pictured for years a nice solid brass bed sitting on her rosetoned carpet beside the mahogany dressing table, and had warmed her spirit. In the rosette flames of that anticipation, has practically exhausted all the possibilities in the ownership of such a treasure. The treasure itself amounts to much less. It is so with life. In youth we look forward longingly to the day when we can buy all the chocolate creams that we can eat, but on arriving at that delectable estate we discover that very few satisfy us. Anticipation dwell upon a big round seal muff, but realization shows us that round muffs are pass, and that, besides, mink is the thing. We dream of an automobile—and before it is realized the flying machine appears on the horizon. Desire is much; realization is little. Give us our anticipations. No Feather Beds for the Bables. A child should sleep on a mattress, never on a feather-bed, and without too much covering, which should be of the lightest description, though warm. . The Relief Asked For By Daniel Sims is Denied By The Federal Court In Oklahoma. Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 9.—The United States Court handed down a decree a few days ago denying to Daniel Sims, a former slave, an injunction restraining an election official from denying him the right to vote. Mr. Sims is one of the 14,000 colored men disfranchised by the disfranchising amendment adopted last August. This amendment was jammed through by counting all those who neglected to vote for the amendment. In denying the injunction, the court said Mr. Sims had no ground for relief under a law he considered void. The pinion follows, in part: "It is ordered that the application for the interlocutory injunction be ane the same is hereby denied, not on the ground that Section 4, of Article 3 of the constitution of Oklahoma, voted for at the election in August, A. D., 1910, is not violative of the constitution of the United States, but on the sole ground that although the complainant may have a remedy at law in this court for the deprivation of his vote this court has no jurisdiction in equity to grant him the relief he seeks from his threatened deprivation of that right under the decision of the supreme court in Giles vs. Harris, 189 U. S. 475." Wanted to be Sure. Bret Hartar at one time used to plunder the people from the rostrum in the way of 50-cent lectures, says a magazine writer. During a trip over the Pennsylvania circuit he found himself one evening in a small town, the very atmosphere of which was depressing. Turning to the committeeman who awaived on him at his room in the hotel, Hartar said; "Is this a healthful climate?" "Passably," responded the committeeman. "What's the mortality of this city?" "About one a day." "About one. eh," said Hartar, "come this way a minute," and he drew the committeeman into the recess of the hay window and then said to him, solemnly, "Is the man dead for today? I am going to lecture here tonight, and it would be a great relief to me to know that I could get through alive." Every Precaution. Husband—Goodbye, my dear, I pleant voyage. I have taken every precaution in case of accident. Wife—What do you mean? Hustand—Insured your life in my favor. AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE OF GREAT BRITAN National Negro Committee Takes Issue With Opinions of Dr. Booker T. Washington Disclaims Any Hostility to Him But Claims That the "Negro Problem Is Worse Than at any Time In History of the Country"—Discrimination and Disfranchisement, Together Witn Lynchings Make life Miserable These Days. (Special to Afro-American Ledger.) New York, Nov. 9—In a circular entitled "Race Relations in the United States, the National Negro Committee, with headquarters at 20 Vesey street, this city, makes an appeal to the people of Great Britain and Europe in opposition to the opinion expressed by Dr. Booker T. Washington on his European tour that the race problem is being solved satisfactorily in this country. After dislaming any hostility to Dr. Washington and declaridg his large financial responsibilities have made the famous apostle of industrial education depend on the charitably inclined of the rich, thereby making hint trim his utterances to suit the whims of certain powerful interests, the appeal declares the race question to form one of the gravest of American problems. "We black men," continues the appeal, "who live and suffer under present conditions, and who have no reason and refuse to accept reasons for silence can substantiate this. Our people were emancipated in a whirl of passion, and then left naked to the mercies of their enraged and impoverished ex-masters. As our sole means of defense we were given the ballots, and we used it so as to secure the real fruits of the war. Without it we would have been returned to slavery; with it we struggled toward freedom. "No sooner, however, had we rid ourselves of nearly two-thirds of our illiteracy, and accumulated $600,000,000 worth of property in a generation, than this ballot, which became increasingly necessary to the defence of our civil and property rights was taken from us by force and fraud. "Today in eight States where the bulk of the Negroes live, block men of property and university training can be, and usually are denied the ballot, while the most ignorant white man votes. This attempt to put the personal and property rights of the best of the blacks at the absolute political mercy of the worst of the whites is spreading each day." "Along with this has gone the systematic attempt to curtail the education of the black race. Under the widely advertised system of "universal" education, not one colored boy in three today, has in the United States a chance to learn to read and write. The proportion of school funds due to black children are often spent on whites, and the burden on private charity to support education, which is a public duty, has become almost intolerable. After stating that the race is discriminated against in all walks of life, is forced to vive in unsanitary surroundings; paid a low wage and then criticized for a low standard of, living. The circular states that PRICE THREE CENTS UNIVERSAL RACES CONGRESS TO MEET IN LONDON ENG. tical ser- the life pioneer thood. church active and the red was any of the In speaking editorially of the meeting, the New York Evening Post last Saturday said: "Essentially, the congress is to be non-political. Questions of a pressing rasping nature are to be avoided as a matter of course. Critics will doubtless be found to assert that only the outskirts of the problem will be touched. Yet it is there are women practically without protection of law in the South and are derided as lewd, that deliberate public insult in widespread in the South. Speaking of lynching and the lack of justice in the courts, the report states that 3500 colored people have been publicly killed by mobs wichin the last 25 years without trial of any kind, and that "regularly every day throughout the South is the machinery of the courts is used, not to prevent crime, and to correct the wayward among Negro, but to wreak public vengeance and dislike. The Oldest Negro Episcopal Parish Celebrates The Birth Of Its Noted Philadelphia, Nov. S.—Last Sunday was fittingly celebrated in St. Thomas Episcopal church, of this city, the 164th anniversary of the birth of Absalom Jones, its first rector, chief founder, and the first member of the Afro-American priesthood of the Episcopal church. At the second celebration of the Holy Communion, at the 11 A. M. service, the Rev. Father A. V. C. Cartier, rector of the parish, was the celebrant. The preacher was Rev. H. C. Bishop, rector of St. Philip's church, New York. Father Bishop, as a little babe was "christened" by the late Harrison H. Webb in St James First African church, Baltimore, which church was the first Negro parish, planted by a son of St. Thomas in this country, and the third Negro parish to be established in the United States. Father Bishop, for a quarter of a century, rector of the second oldest church, most appropriately preached a very interesting sermon. In the evening, the Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., for nineteen years the rector of St. James church, Baltimore, preached the historical sermon commemorative of the life character and work of the pioneer in the Afro-American priesthood. On both occasions, the church was filled with representative and crowded congregations, and the high class of music rendered was peculiarly fitting and worthy of the occasion. Last night the parish supper and reunion took place, which proved to be a noteworthy and exceedingly interesting event in the history of this city. Short addresses were delivered by Rev. Dr. Bragg, and by the Rev. Dr. Pierre Jones of Haiti, who, forty years ago, was a lay-reader in St. Thomas parish, while preparing for the sacred ministry, and whose mission in this country, at present, is the placing of a daughter in the Deaconess' training school, and a son in the same divinity school from which he graduated many years ago. Many of the oldest members were present, several of whom are great grandchildren, and otherwise relate to some of the original founders of the parish. Old Skewers. A novel present given to a bride-to-be at a housekeeping shower was a set of four old silver skewers. The handles were quaintly carved and always a matter of admiration and comment when drawn from a roast by the host. So delighted was the giver by the success of her present that she has started collecting them in antique shops and on old arms and tumble-down houses on her travels. The advantage of such a collection is that it has not been done to death, so valuable finds are more probable. Its Aim Will Be To Secure A Basis Of Mutual Respect Between People Of All Races. Essentially The Congress Is To Be Non-Political The Essential Thing Is That Representatives Of The Races Shall Come Togethether Not As Inferiors And Superiors But As Human Souls New York, Nov. 10.—A congress of deep significance to the various races the world over, will be held in London, Eng., next July, when questions affecting the relations between the various races will be discussed by leading men of all races. This gathering will be called the Universal Races Congress, and its aim will be to secure a basis of mutual respect between the people of all races a subject which has received the consideration of the publicists of all people. Racial misunderstanding are not peculiar to this country, and everywhere the white man has attempted to rule an alien race, bitter, though sometimes subdued, hostility has greeted the attempt of the white man to inspire these natives with his pretended superiority. The white man's boasted superiority received a rode shock in the Russo-Japanese war, and English rule in Egypt and India has not the support of the millions governed without their consent.

Hopkinsville Noted For Large Number of Business Men. PETER POSTELL'S FORTUNE Brief Account of What Some of Our Enterprising Citizens Are Doing In Flourishing Little Town in the Blue Grass State—Cordial Relations Between the People. Hopkinsville, Ky., one of the most enterprising little towns in the south, boasts of a large number of Afro-Americans who are in every way keeping pace with the progressive spirit of the times. There is a large number of men in the town whose names for a long period of years have been of worldwide fame. The influence of the Postell family has for years been of widespread significance. Although the founder of the family fortunes, Peter Postell, Sr., has been dead for twelve years, the fortune which he amassed is kept intact, and the family estate is easily one of the most productive in the community. Peter Postell, Jr., the well known business man of today, keeps alive the luster of the family name and has no equal for progressive ideas and enthusiastic conduct in business affairs of the community. Nero Kirkpatrick, the brother of Peter Postell, Sr., is rich in his own name and, with the younger Postell, maintains a lucrative business in the Postell block. In recent years another and younger set of men has usurped, who have taken up the lead set by their seniors. One rejoices in the business establishment of E. G. Lamb, the jeweler; in the buselling ability displayed in the last few years by D. S. Stewart, the rapid rise of a score of young men such as James M. Moore, Robert Waters, R. A. Phelps, John Buckner, Henry Moore, Esq.; Ned and John Bronaugh, Charlie Lynch, C. W. Merrweather, J. T. Whitney, William Knight and a host of others and cannot but applaud the remarkable spirit displayed by the Ne WALTER ROBINSON, ESQ. gro citizens of Hopkinsville in the constant patronage they give to the business men of the race. In this connection it would be well to call attention to the success attained by T. Walter Robinson, a young and promising lawyer, who bids fair to stand in the place of pre-eminence occupied by the late Robert N. Lander. As a fearless, brave and conscientious lawyer Mr. Robinson might be considered his protege. He succeeded not only to Mr. Lander's good will, but was bequeathed his valuable library and enters the profession as his one disciple. Mr. Robinson passed the Kentucky examination with credit and has already won one or two very important cases. The people of Christian county impose remarkable confidence in him. That he will eventually be a great success goes without saying. He has served successfully and satisfactorily as a teacher in the county for a number of years and has a wide acquaintance. He is straight politically and in every campaign is in demand as a speaker who can convince his hearers of the wisdom of the cause he advocates. More Negroes own property in Hopkinsonville than in any other town of its size in the country. Some of the individuals have large holdings, with rent rolls that make a comfortable income. Among them are E. W. Glass, Rev. John Moore, the Postell estate, Peter Postell, Jr., Lucian Dude, Andrew Wimm, Dr. J. R. Duncan, Dr. J. C. Lyte, John Knight, Mrs. Carrie Brett. Rev. Edward Williams, Nero Kirkpatrick and George A. Leavell, while hundreds of individuals own comfortable and well appointed homes. As executive secretary to John B. Atkinson, the wealthy coal operator and railroad magnate, Pull H. Brown, well known in many centers as a journalist, holds one of the most important positions in the state. He worked his way into Mr. Atkinson's confidence by his pronounced editors in the Morning News on labor matters and has since that time served him well and with apparent satisfaction. A visit to Hopkinsville would convince one beyond a doubt of the superiority of the community, as far as its Negro citizens are concerned, who would not only be struck with the progress displayed, but with the cordiality that exists between the races and with the strong force the Negro leaders have in county and city polit- ST. MONICA'S MISSION. Another Roman Catholic Church in the West For Afro-Americans. Within the past decade the Roman Catholic church in the United States has gained a large following among Afro-Americans. New impetus was given in this direction in the early spring of this year by Father John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic board for mission work among Afro-Americans throughout the country. It is Father Burke's aim to raise $100,000 annually until a sufficient number of suitable edifices shall have been erected for worship and for the maintenance of schools for the education of those who are to study for the priesthood and subsequently become leaders in the work among Afro-Americans. There has been a Roman Catholic church for our people in St. Louis, Mo., for the past twenty-five years. Another was opened in a cottage in Kansas City, Mo., the latter part of October. It is stated that a new edifice will soon be erected in its stead at a cost of $30,000. Miss Katherine Drexel of Philadelphia recently gave $8,000 toward the sum necessary for the erection of the new building. This enabled Father Burke and those associated with him to begin the work in Kansas City sooner than was expected. In speaking of the possibilities of the movement, Father Burke says the Negro needs the Catholic church and it is our duty to convert and educate him. The church in Kansas City will be known for the time being as St. Monica's mission. THE NEED OF ORGANIZATION Hon. George McAenny Gives Race Some Sound Advice. Speaking at the National Negro Business league in New York last August, Borough President George McAenny said: "For a long time past it has seemed to me that in addition to such beneficial organizations as this the colored people of the United States ought to have a strong national committee of their own. "Their white friends could direct their energies and their friends' energies toward the preservation of their liberties and the righting of their wrongs, precisely as there have been steering committees for the Irish people and for the Poles of Prussia." BAR ASSOCIATION HONORS MEMORY OF EDWARD BROWN Richmond (Va.) Attorneys: Show Respect For Law Library Assistant. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The actions of the bar of Richmond, Va., in calling a special meeting for the purpose of passing a set of resolutions in honor of Edward Brown, late justice and assistant in the state law library, show the high esteem in which he was held. Mr. Brown had held the position for over forty years. During that time he proved himself to be a man of worth, honesty and intelligence. It is related of him that he could put his hand on any book in the library at once when called for by any one of the many persons who made use of the library. The white people of Richmond who knew him showed him the very highest respect, and no favor which Mr. Brown desired of any of them would be withheld when asked for. When we consider that the bar association of Richmond is composed solely of white men it is easy to see the high honor conferred upon the deceased by southern white men of influence and high standing in the community. Mr. Brown was always courteous, obliging and respectful to those whom he served in the line of duty. He perhaps knew more public men of wealth and position than any other man of our race in the city of Richmond. Governors, educators, senators and representatives of the lower house were among his daily companions, as it were, while in the performance of their duty as state and city officials. In thus honoring the memory of one who faithfully performed his duty in life the lawyers at the Richmond bar reflect honor upon the community and at the same time prove themselves to be men of broad sympathies, possessing at the same time a high sense of duty and humanitarian virtues. True Reformers In Difficulty. According to information received from Washington, Nov. 2, the insurance officials of the District of Columbia have suspended the license of the Grand Fountain of the United Order if True Reformers, pending the restoration of its license by the state of Virginia. The association has been doing business in Washington for a number of years. It has seventy-eight lodges in the District, with 1,318 members, and, according to a statement filed with the Washington officials, owns property valued at $30,000. The question of citizenship in the United States, like the question of slavery was, must sooner or later be forced to a successful and final conclusion, says N. Barrett Dodson. The infux of foreigners and their anxiety to become naturalized, hold office and help to dictate the policy of the government are problems which the United States cannot ignore. In the final analysis all citizens must have voice, right and protection guaranteed to them by the constitution. FORD'S HAIR POMADE THE OLD RELIABLE DRESSING FOR KINNY OR CURLY HAIR.

BALTIMORE, NOV. 12, 1910 Some one else can bent to a "frazzle" as well as the sage of Oyster Bay. Of course we all know how it came about by this time. The other fellow had too many votes and there was all there was to it. The election is over and the flying men are in the public eye. The next thing is thanksgiving and then Christmas, and by that time we will have forgotten all about it. State hat-ism, Roosevelt-ism, lily-white-ism, Cannon-ism, insurgent-ism, tarif-ism, new national-ism, everything but Republican-ism. No wonder the G. O. P. went down in defeat. It was enough to send any party to the scrap heap. Even the Dowas' case has gone down in defeat before the flyers at Halethrope. By the bye, what has become of that ancient and celebrated case anyway? Heretofore the Negro has been blamed for all the troubles that have cometo the Republicans, and that without cause. This time some of its troubles may well be laid at his door. He got tired of living off promises, and in a number of States decided to help the other fellow and did. In New York State, the Negro was a factor in the election of Dix for Governor, in Ohio and Missouri, the Negro took an active part in the defeat of the G. O. P. and says he will do it again. Jones Falls is to be covered over at last. Now let us have an ordinance or something else to cover the basin in the summer time and then we will get rid of that awful snail. But will any of us live to see, it finished. Hope it will not be like the Pipe Line. Even this will be probably finished sometime before the end of the century. THE SPRING ELECTION. Next spring there will be an election for Mayor and members of the City Council and other city officials. That there is need in the City Hall for the best men that can be found in the city goes without saying. It is up to the Republican party to find that man and put him up, and it is the duty of the man when found to subordinate his own desires to that of the public good. There are millions of dollars to be spent for improvements and as it entails a tax upon every citizens to know that the money is going to be spent economically and wisely and not to be spent to boost any set of men or any particular party. Much has to do with the selection of members of the City Council. As it is presently constituted it can do a great deal of good and a great deal of harm. It can pass ordinances that will cripple the city and it can pass ordinances that will help the city and deal wisely with all the things that come before it. Let us see to it that as far as possible we do our part in making a good selection for these several offices. DEMOCRATS WIN! WHY? The election is over and Democratic prognostications have been fulfilled with a good big plus sign following them. In a time like this everybody is trying to find out the reason for such a tremendous slump in the Republican vote and a great many answers will be given, some germane and others will be entirely aside from the facts. From our point of view, several things entered into the greatest political landslide since the days of Cleveland. In the first place we want to remark that the defeat of the Republican party cannot with the least degree of good sense be charged up to Colonel Roosevelt for in our judgment the Republican party had laid the ground-work of its defeat, before Mr. Roosevelt left the jungles of Africa. In New York the shameful treatment of Governor Hughes and his moral reforms, by the Old Guard, had disgusted the independent voters and drove Governor Hughes out of politics, assuring the State to the Democrats. Roosevelt tried to save the day by beating the Old Guard at Saratoga and winning again the confidence of the people; but the disgraceful exposures at Albany were too much for even Roosevelt to pull through to Re.ublican victory. It comes to pass, therefore, that New York was lost not because, but in spite of Roosevelt. It is no news to say that there came a nation-wide discontent over the Payne-Aldrich tariff sch dules and that discontent ran everywhere in the nation from the Fenobscott to the Sacramento, and the new tariff schedules created fractional fights all the way from the halls of Congress to the sea girt shores of the republic. The country repudiated the new tariff law, and looked upon it as the failure of the Republic party to keep faith with the people. We had been promised a reduction, but the actual fact is the new tariff yields an increase of 25 per cent, more than the former. Then came the high cost of living making the every day life of the people one long, constant grooming struggle for bread, and the promise of the Democratic party to remedy this condition, if it could secure a working majority in the House. The people arose and have given the majority. Then the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy, carrying trouble right up into President Taft's political family, had no small influence in bringing about the defeat of the Republicans. Now looking a little farther, we find that President Taft contributed in no small degree to the defeat of his party, by the policy which he inaugurated in reference to the Negro. The Negroes everywhere presented the acts of President Taft in removing their eminent and faithful men from office all across the South and the Negroes in Ohio, New York and elsewhere decided to cast their strength against the party and help to administer the rebuke the party so much needed. The Republican party must wake up to the fact that the Negroes do not all vote these days from sentiment, but with their increasing intelligence, they are doing just what other men do. The time is past when you can safely count all the Negroes in the same political family. He is learning to study issues and men, and is no longer a hidebound partisan. We have trying for some time to have the leaders in the G. O. P. see this, and have repeatedly asked that we be treated like men and not as Negroes. It is true Mr. Taft had the bells rung in his ears and has begun a new policy toward the Negro, but he was too late in inaugurating it to save the vote in the recent election. Let there be no backward steps in the future, and in 1912 the black cohorts may again take the field for the G. O. P. We will have ample time, and if we have the wisdom to profit by our recent sad experience, we may rehabilitate the party and win a sweeping victory in 1912. But the G. O. P. must remember that the Negroes hold the balance of power in several important States, and we demand fair and decent treatment, and failing to get it we will resent it at the polls. ELECTION OFFICIALS ARRESTED Guthrie, Okla., Nov. 9.—Thirty election officials were arrested election day for denying to colored men the right to vote. The arrests were made on warrants sworn out in the federal court. Several thousand Indians in the western part of the State were denied the right to vote under the "grandfather" clause. THE PEOPLE'S FORUM. WHAT IS A DEMOCRACY EPWORTH LEAGUE NOTES TO THE EDITOR: In the Baltimore Times of November 4th, appears, by "L. E. P." "Are Colored Ministers Paid Too Little?" I presume "L. E. P." means colored pastors. He argues the case by comparing the salary and expenses of the ministers with the wages and expenses of the laborers of his membership—cooks, waiters, shoeblacks, hodecarries, teamsters, porters, and other laborers. I pass over this argument as irrelevant in this discussion. I put him in a class with trained labor—dressmakers, barbers, mechanics—and in class with the professionals—teachers, doctors, editors and lawyers—and then compare his income and expenses with theirs and see if he is paid too little. Without going into details, I will say that the cost of the minister's preparation for his work in time and means is equal to any of these professionals that I have mentioned; his time is all take up at his job, and his equipment for doing his work is as much and as costly as any of their class, and the public as well as his church demands as much from him or more than it does from any other public man. And demands of him as a leader that he economize and save something also. If there is a pastor that seemingly gets too much now, possibly for a long, very long time he got very, very much too little, and may soon again be getting too little. Therefore, it becomes him now to secure real estate and get a bank account while he can. I can for one testify during my ministry, I have had to live in one place on what I saved in another place, and expect to have to do so again. The railroads and other transportations know this truth, and have for that cause given reduced rates so that these ministers may reach their work. The larger churches know the same, and raise money to help these poor ministers do their work. Last year the Washington Conference distributed among the ministers who were not getting a comfortable support, $4.923.00, and had to do it. In the light of these facts, I would answer "L. B. P.'s" question by saying, yes, they do get too little. Yours respectfully, SYLVESTER H. NORWOOD, Pastor St. Paul. M. E. Church, Saratoga and Carey streets.

This column is edited by the Just Government League of Baltimore, headquarters: St. Paul and Pleasant Sts. We call our country a democracy, and pride ourselves upon its being one. What is a Democracy? A democracy is a form of government where the final power rests in the people. Not a part of the people; that makes an obligarchy or a monarchy; but where it rests in the whole people. Are the men of this country the whole people? No. Therefore, so long as the men alone are the source of power of the government of the people, for the people and by the people, it is not a Democracy. It is merely a country under class rule, the class being men, who, after all, represent but half of the population; half of those who live under the laws they make. You may say that women are just as well off without the right to vote. Some are; other are not. Many of the slaves in the South were better off, in material ways, before the Civil War than they were afterwards, but that did not make it right for the owners to hold them in slavery. Just so, the men of this country have no right to hold the women in political slavery. And one of the worst things about slavery was the bad effect it had upon the masters. The political slavery of women is not uplifting to the masters. This is the day of progress. A country must progress, or it will fall behind and another will take its place. A Democracy cannot progress unless its people are growing in intelligence and moral force. We who believe in Democracy claim that the use of the ballot is the chief means of developing in the citizens this intelligence and moral force. The women are deprived of this great means of development and therefore must fall behind. Can the race advance and develop as it should, when one-half hangs like a millstone about the neck of the other half? General Irving Hale, of Denver, says: "Woman suffrage has, make it easier to secure liberal appropriations for educational and humanitarian objects." Mrs Helen Loring Greufell, former State Superintendent of Instruction for Colorado, says that there the schools are not scrimped for money, as they are in almost all the States where the mothers and teachers have no vote upon the appropriations. She says, "In Colorado people sometimes grumble about the size of the school tax, but the schools have money enough." Frances Willard said that when women obtained their full share of influence in the world at large, the press would give "less space to the prize fight, and more to the prize poem." I go for all sharing the privileges of the government who assist in bearing it burdens, by no means excluding women. - ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

Watty has just returned from New York where he had a conference with a number of Pythians. The new foot ball rules, have fallen hard in many places. Many of largest colleges, from the beginning protested bitterly against, some of the changes. Yale was loudest in her protestations. So far too she seems to be the greatest sufferer from the changes, having been beaten by the Army, tied by Vanderbilt and run over by Brown 21 to 0. With such a humiliation unparalleled in all her history, she can scarcely hope to win from Princeton. We are sorry to note that football in our city is at such a low ebb Captain Johnson of the Colored High School has made strenuous efforts to reawaken the old time enthusiasm for the sport. A cloud of uncertainty seems to hover over things to the great annoyance of all concerned. Three games are in sight before the close of the season, but the uncertainty of present conditions seems to prevent their being settled upon. Perhaps this week's practice will decide matters. Many of the local enthusiasts are anxious for Saturday to come that they may see the Navy and the Carlisle Indians in what is predicted to be one of the best games of the season. Quite a few expect to see the Howard-Lincoln game which will be played on Thanksgiving Day at Lincoln. The Dnnbar Athletic Club hopes to have quite a successful basketball season this year. Two or three times each week, they may be found hard at work in the High School gymnasium. Great improvements are noticed in some of the players and if regular work means anything the will develop a formidable machine to deal with. They are hard workers and that goes far toward wearing the fabric of a successful Captain Shipley, of the High School five has been putting a deal of time with his men. Some promis-material has reported for practice from time to time and hard work has been the slogan. The team is fortunate in having three of last year's veterans as a nucleus. We expect to hear good things from this bunch before the season closes next spring. The lady teachers of this city have organized a class for exercise and recreation. Nineteen members are now on the list and perhaps more will follow. Gymnasium exercises, rhythmical movements, basket ball and games are to characterize their work. Why not add your name to the roll. Get healthy and, thus adding to your earning capacity, your grace of carriage, and length of life. An hour in the gymnasium will bring to a woman greater returns than any other investment for the same time. "Coxey's Army," one of the oldest and most exclusive organisations in this city, gave their annual Halloween dance on last Monday evening at Paca Hall, and was very largely attended. The "Army" was formed by a number of young ladies a number of years ago, and since then it has grown steadily, and it now counts among its members, some of the best known ladies in Baltimore's exclusive circles. Mrs A. Monroe Burgess is General of the Army. The guests were highly entertained during the evening and at midnight a picnic supper was served. Among those present were: Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Burgess, Jas. T. Bradford, [r., T. Evans Fernauds, M. A. Hawkins, G. B. Murphy, H J. Anderson, John Wheeler, T. S. Hawkins, D. C. Brown, Hugh E. Macbeth, H. T. Pratt, D. H.

Edward Gelston, $2 Wallace St. Bridgeport, Conn., says: "So painful were the passages of the kidney secretions that neighbors heard me scream two blocks away. Every doctor in town treated me. I was in three different hospitals and had two operations but was finally taken home to die. A physician made offdoubt, that, I could not live six months. As a last resort I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills and soon noticed improvement. Under their use I gained in weight from 134 to 177% pounds, more than I ever weighed before. Doan's Kidney Pills saved me from the grave and restored me to perfect health." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co. Buffalo, N. Y.

We've been frozen by a look, stabbed by a sneer and wounded to the quick by a sigh just because we've tried to read the story continued on page seven, column five, and the thing that hurts the most is that we still think that we had a perfect right to do so.—Detroit Free Press. Strong Preaching. The minister's eight-year-old daughter was returning with her parents from church, where the district superintendent had that morning occupied the pulit. "Oh, father," asked the little girl; her face alive with enthusiasm, "Don't you think Brother C. is a very strong preacher? I do." "Gratified by this evidence of unusual intelligence on the part of his offspring, the minister eagerly inquired into her reasons for her statement. "Oh," replied the little miss, artlessly, "didn't you see how the dust rose when he stamped his feet?"—Judge. The mistake is frequently made of trying to build up a worn-out nervous system on so-called tonics—drugs. New material from which to rebuild wasted nerve cells is what should be supplied, and this can be obtained only from proper food. "Two years ago I found myself on the verge of a complete nervous collapse, due to overwork and study, and to illness in the family," writes a Wisconsin young mother. "My friends became alarmed because I grew pale and thin and could not sleep nights. I took various tonics prescribed by physicians, but their effects wore off shortly after I stopped taking them. My food did not seem to nourish me and I gained no flesh nor blood. "Reading of Grape-Nuts. I determined to stop the tonics and see what a change of diet would do. I ate Grape-Nuts four times a day, with cream and drank milk also, went to bed early after eating a dish of Grape-Nuts. "In about two weeks I was sleeping soundly. In a short time gained 20 pounds in weight and felt like a different woman. My little daughter whom I was obliged to keep out of school last spring on account of chronic catarrh has changed from a thin, pale, nervous child to a rosy, healthy girl and has gone back to school this fall. "Grape-Nuts and fresh air were the only agents used to accomplish the happy results." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letter? A new one appears from time to time. They become, true, and fall of human inte COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER Increase of Sanatorla and Hospitals for Consumptives Is Most Gratifying. The growth of the crusade against tuberculosis in the United States is shown to good advantage in the two directories that have been issued by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and the one in preparation. The first tuberculosis directory published in 1904, by the tuberculosis committee of the New York Charity Organization Society and the National Association listed 223 sanatoria and hospitals for consumptives in the United States, for some of which preliminary provision only has been made. The combined capacity of these institutions was only 8,000 beds. Thirty-two special dispensaries and thirty-one anti-tuberculosis organizations summed up practically all of the fighting force enumerated in the first directory. The second directory was prepared by the National Association for the study and Prevention of Tuberculosis and published under the auspices of the Russell Sage Foundation in August, 1908. This directory listed 240 sanatoria and hospitals, an increase of 107 from the former directory; 158 dispensaries, an increase of 126; and 195 associations, an increase of 156. The number of hospital beds listed in 1908 was 14,014. The new directory that will be issued soon, will list over 460 sanitation and hospitals with a bed capacity of nearly 25,000; more than 300 special tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully 450 anti-tuberculosis associations and committees. Since the first directory was issued in 1904, the increase in the number of agencies fighting consumption aggregates nearly 500 per cent. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis would like to get in touch with all agencies engaged in the fight against tuberculosis, in order that they may be listed in the new directory. SICK, SOUR, UPSET STOMACH Indigestion, Gas, Heartburn or Dysppepsia Relieved Five Minutes After Taking a Little Diapepsin. Here is a harmless preparation which surely will digest anything you eat and overcome a sour, gassy or out-of-order stomach within five minutes. If your meals don't fit comfortably, or what you eat lies like a lump of lead in your stomach, or if you have heartburn, that is a sign of Indigestion. Get from your Pharmacist a 50-case of Pape's Diapepsin and take a dose just as soon as you can. There will be no sour rises, no belching of undigested food mixed with acid, no stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or heavy feeling in the stomach, Nausea, insulting Headaches, Dizziness or intestinal gripping. This will all go, and, besides, there will be no sour food left over in the stomach to poison your breath with nauseous odors. Pape's Diapsepin is a certain cure for out-of-order stomachs, because it takes hold of your food and digests it just the same as if your stomach wasn't there. Relief in five minutes from all stomach misery is waiting for you at any drug store here in town. These large 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapsepin contain more than sufficient to thoroughly cure almost any case of Dyspepsia, Indigestion, Gastritis or any other stomach disorder. On Authority of Teacher. A quick-witted boy, asking food at a farmhouse too recently ravaged by other hungry fishing truants, was told that he was big enough to wait until he got home. "Of course, if you have children with you—" hesitated the kindly woman of the house, and was immediately informed that there were six children in the party. "No, I don't tell a fib, neither," was the indignant protest later drawn forth by the condemnation of one who had shared the good bread and butter chus secured. "Fib nothin'. We've children six times over. We're children of our father and mother, children of God, children of our country, children of the church an' children of grace. Teacher said so last Thursday, and I guess she ought to know." Lover's Wedding Cake Four pounds of our of love, half a pound of buttered yogh, half a pound of good looks, half a pound of sweet temper, half a pound of self-forgetfulness, half a pound of powdered wits, half an ounce of dry humor, two tablespoons of sweet argument, half a pint of rippling laughter, half a wine-glass of common sense. Then put the flour of love, good locks and sweet temper into a well-furnished house. Beat the butter of youth to a cream. Mix together blindness of faults, self-forgetfulness, powdered wits, dry humor into sweet argument, then add them to the above. Pour in gently rippling laughter and common sense. Work it together until all is well mixed, then bake gently forever. Expecting Too Much. It was a cold, raw day, but the Neversweats and the Fearnoughts were playing a game of ball on the prairie, just the same. The pitcher of the Neversweats, his fingers half frozen, failed dismally in getting the balls over the plate. "Aw," said the captain, "I ought ye, was one o' dese cold weather pitchers!" "I am," said the slab artist, Mowing on his numbed digits to warm them "but I ain't a ice pitcher, blame me!" tions that neighbors heard me, scream two blocks away. Every doctor in town treated me.

STOPPED SHORT MAN OF STATE WIDE REPUTE Influence of G. W. Franklin as Business Man and Leader. GENEFACTOR OF HIS RACE. Story of the Achievements of a Self Made Man Who Believes In the Time Honored Principles of Honesty, Perseverance and Efficiency—Has High Commercial Rating. The successful career of, G. W. Franklin, who is in many respects the most successful of our business men in Chattanooga. Tenn. should well serve as a distinct inspiration and encouragement to the thousands of young men and women of the race in entering upon their life's work. Mr. Franklin's career is in all essentials that of the self made man. He has been in business for about twenty-six years, fifteen of which have been spent in Chattanooga. In the whole state of Tennessee there is not a man who has a higher commercial rating M. Q. W. FRANKLIN. or who enjoys the confidence of the financial man and institutions of the community more than he. His immediate activities are centered in the large undertaking establishment which he conducts in Chattanooga. But besides this establishment he has large real estate interests, owning more than fifteen houses and lots and having recently disposed of a lot in the heart of the city for $14,000. Besides this valuable realty in Chattanooga, Mr. Franklin owns two very profitable farms, one of which he conducts blussef and the other being rented out to white tenants on a profitable basis. Mr. Franklin has a large force of employees, and his payroll foots up about $300 per month, besides other expenses which in the aggregate make a total of about $1,000 monthly. During Dr. Booker T. Washington's trip through the state of Tennessee in 1800 the inspection of Mr. Franklin's establishment and the comment upon the remarkable ingenuity displayed by him in the manufacture and design of funeral cars of every description will perhaps be remembered by the individual members of that party as one of the most notable features connected with the whole trip. His worth as a business man has endeared him to the people of the community. He has been called to places of honor and trust time and again. That "worth is the measure of worth" is one of the pet theories in his business and household. "Everybody works—and father," is his facetious paraphrase of the latter day slang, and in his establishment and household this tite saying is carried out. Mrs. Franklin is a valuable assistant to him in all his interests, and his son, Benjamin H. Franklin, is also a licensed embalmer, rendering efficient service. It is well to call attention to the fact that Mr. Franklin's unparalleled success is the result of close application to business and of hard work and that other individuals can succeed by the same methods. He has not allowed his success to turn him away from a proper consideration of the value of conscientious effort in church and educational activities, as is often the case with some successful men. He is one of the most influential men in the Wiley Avenue Methodist Episcopal church, of which the Rev. J. W. Tate was the recent pastor. His counsel is sought and respected in everything that pertains to Negro life in the community. For usefulness to his people in a substantial way and for a concrete example of the efficiency of the time honored principles of honesty, perseverance and efficiency Mr. Franklin has but few equals in our racial life. Support Men of Right Principles. In speaking of political matters pertaining to Minnesota, Editor Charles A. Smith of the Twin City Star, Minneapolis, says: The negroes do not have to follow the regular nominee of the Republican party because he is a Republican. They vote for the man with the right principles and purposes. IMPORTANT PUBLICATION. Murray's Encyclopedia of the Race Noising Completion. Murray's historical and biographical encyclopedia of the colored race throughout the world, upon which Dan- iel D. Murray, assistant librarian of congress, has been working for the past fifteen years, is about ready to be published. It will tell of the progress and achievements of the race from the earliest times down to the present. It has over 20,000 biographical sketches of men and women of the race in every age of the world. There are also sketches of the authors of the 6,000 and more books and pamphlets written by members of the race which they have contributed to the literature of the world. Another feature of the encyclopedia is a synoptical account of all the works of fiction by Caucasian authors that deal with the race question. The work will be published by the World's Cyclopedia Publishing company in five volumes. It will be the most complete and valuable place of literature so far brought out which deals with the history and progress of the race the world over. TRYING TO SAVE SINNERS. So Said Vice President Sherman to Dr. Booker T. Washington. "I, too, am down here converting simers," was the greeting of Vice President Sherman to Booker T. Washington when the two met in Salisbury. N. C., while Mr. Washington was on his tour of the state which ended on Thursday, Nov. 3. The vice president in his campaign tour of the state reached Salisbury in his special train a few minutes before another special bearing the educator arrived. Dr. Washington, at Mr. Sherman's invitation, visited the vice president in his private car, and later both were driven in an automobile to Livingstone college, where they made short talks to the student body. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS HEAR ANNIVERSARY SERMON. Ben-Hur Lodge Encouraged by Rev. Dr. Moss' Scholarly Discourse. By N. BARNETT DODSON. One of the most progressive of the younger lodges of Knights of Pythians of the Eastern and. Western Hemisphere in Greater New York is Ben-Hur lodge. No. 18. It was organized in October, 1008, and has steadily grown in usefulness to its members and into the good graces of the public. The second anniversary sermon to the lodge was recently preached by the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss at the Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn. Dr. Moss, who was recently installed pastor of Concord, bade the order a hearty welcome to the hospitalities of the church and assured the members that it was a pleasure for him to serve the order in the north as he had done in the south. Dr. Moss gave a vivid account of the story of Damon and Pythias of old, their friendship and loyalty to each other and of their final ending. He then delved into ancient history and into geology, from which he showed the harmony and co-operation of substances. His astronomical illustrations were lovely, and the truth of his logic was convincing. At the conclusion of the sermon E. Burton Carriti, chancellor in command, expressed the thanks of the lodge to Pastor Moss for his scholarly sermon, which, he said, was highly satisfactory to the members and was also encouraging and full of hope. Chorister P. Albert Myers of the choir of the church had prepared and rendered a special musical program in honor of the occasion. Among the special numbers rendered were "Father In Heaven Above" (Gray), by Mrs. Laura Bowle, soprano soloist; soprano solo and chorus, Mrs. Harriet L. Brown; choir selection and recital "Curtis Aunum." The officers of Ben-Hur lodge, No. 19, are E. Burton Cerutti, chancellor commander; vice chancellor, J. H. Williams; prelate, John Curtis; master of work, R. H. Baynard; keeper of records and seals, Thomas E. Scott; master of finance, William H. McFurland; master of exchequer, Charles C. Porter; master at arms, Charles McKeever; outer guard, George D. Moss, and inner guard, Gaston Smith. The Door of Opportunity Still Open. Colored men, do not imagine that the door of opportunity or the window of hope is closed to you. Remember the latchstrings of the door of opportunity and the window of hope are not held in the hands of men. God keeps these in his hands, says the Dalias (Tox.) Express. Whatever your condition, unless it is laxity, God can help you. Even if you are a fool it makes no difference, for the good book says, "If any man lacketh wisdom let him ask of God, who giveth liberally and upbraideth not." Improvements at Sharon Hill, Pa. The development of South Sharon Hill, Pa., into a promising little town suitable for residences and the owning of homes by our people has been accomplished. The promoters believe the project will prove a blessing to those who prefer the free country air to the crowded conditions of city life. John Madison, formerly of Richmond, Va., is said to be the prime mover in the development of the scheme. The town government will be run by Afro-Americans. M.

Epperson of Karyas City were motoring in Long Isl ad the other day and stopped at Evan's hotel in Douglaston. They ordered large quantities of raw oysters, some of which were thrown aside by the oyster opener. "How do you determine when an oyster is bad?" asked Epperson. "You wait a short time and if you have pionnaline poisoning the oysters were bad," said Mr. Burt. "If you are not ill they were good. That's the only safe way to tell good oysters from bad ones."

CLERGYMAN WHO MADE FORTUNE Nashville Pastor Donated Church and Serves Without Salary. Nashville Pastor Donated Church and Serves Without Salary. PROMOTER AND BENEFACTOR The Rev. Preston Taylor, Founder of Greenwood Park and Leader in Many, Good Movements For Racial Advancement, Has Done Much Practical Work In a Quiet Way. The Rev. Preston Taylor of Nashville, Tennessee, has perhaps contributed more to the welfare of our people in the community in which he lives than any other member of the race in Tennessee. That is saying a great deal of one man, for it will be remembered that in Nashville live a long list of our people who have national reputations. This is no disparagement of men like Dr. R. F. Boyd, Hon. J. C. Napler, Dr. R. H. Royd and Benjamin J. Carr not of any of those men who have labored for the welfare of their people and who are yet doing it. Rev. Mr. Taylor has not been in the limelight. He has worked steadily or until now he is one of the most prosperous Negroes in the south, being variously rated at from $75,000 to $100,000. He has been identified with every laudable enterprise begun in Nashville and stands in the remarkable attitude of being the pastor of a large church without accepting any salary. The church edifice in which the Lee Avenue Christian church worships is the gift of its pastor, Rev. Preston Taylor. He is the one Afro-American living who, having made a fortune out of his people, gives largely of that fortune for their own upift. The story of the establishment of Greenwood park and Greenwood cemetery makes interesting reading. It was through many hardships and adversities that the colored people of Nashville have what is in every respect the finest and best appointed burial ground in the south. There is no white cemetery in Nashville that surpasses Greenwood for beauty. It is kept in shipshape order at an enormous expenditure. At Greenwood park our people have every facility for amusement and quietude that can be found in any other park in the city, and it was only by the expenditure of about $5,000 out of his own pocket the past summer, which was necessary to construct the roadway and purchase right of way that the Rev. Mr. Taylor was able to get the street railway company to extend its lines to the park. As a consequence, the Tennessee state fair for the first time was placed on a paying basis, and now the colored people of the city flock to Greenwood park in the warm summer evenings. Rev. Mr. Taylor has performed a signal service to the colored people of Nashville in the maintenance of Greenwood park. There one finds the usual amusements to be found in other parks—a miniature zoo, the merry-go-round, skating rinks, shooting galleries and an auditorium and grand stand. The colored state troops hold their annual encampment in Greenwood park. The state fair is also hold there. Plans are now on foot to establish a national Chauntqua for six weeks during the summer under the direction of Bishop Evans Tyre. SAVANNAH BAPTIST HIGH SCHOOL CHANGES NAME To Forest City and Adds New Department of Instruction. On Monday, Oct. 31, the Savannah Baptist high school in Savannah, Ga. opened a night school in connection with the regular day courses of instruction. The night school section will be in charge of competent instructors and students will receive the same careful attention in this department as those attending the day classes. The school has changed its name to Forest City high school, but it still located on the same site at East Broad and Anderson streets. The growth of the school is in every way satisfactory, and the faculty is much pleased to be able to open the night classes for the benefit of those who cannot conveniently attend at any other time. In connection with the evening classes there will be a course for those who desire to and who are doing missionary and settlement work in Savannah and elsewhere. The course of study will embrace briefly the life of Christ and of St. Paul and other works bearing on sympathetic instruction with a view to community work in the rural districts. There is a large field for this kind of work in the state, and we are pleased to know that the high school is taking the lead in bringing about better conditions by preparing and sending out persons of trained minds as leaders and teachers of truth, religion and morality. Intelligent leadership begets intelligent followers, and the sooner this method is adhered to by all classes of persons the better it will be for the masses of people who need direction as well as instruction. The hope of any race, no matter what its environments may be, lies largely in the elevation of the masses along all lines cf righteous endeavor. CENTURY OF ACTIVITY. New York African Society For Mutual Relief Efforts New Officers Reliar Elects New Officers. Perhaps the oldest organization for mutual uplift among our people in the United States, secret societies excepted, is the New York African Society for Mortal Relief, with headquarters in New York city. The society was founded and a charter issued to those forming the nucleus to the organization in 1807. During the antislavery agitation and through the civil war the society rendered valuable assistance to the operators of the underground railroad, and also during reconstruction days, when at times it was found to be quite unsafe for many of our people even in New York. Edward V. C. Eato, who is one of the best known men in the north among members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and in Masonic circles, has been president of the society continuously for twenty-five years. At the recent annual election of officers Mr. Eato declined the use of his name. The newly elected officers of the society are: President, Charles H. Lansing, vice president, Henry Cunningham; secretary, S. Williams; board of directors, William Russell Johnson; chairman, William C. Green, Charles T. Smith, James Conick and Vernon C. Murray. UNIQUE ORGANIZATION AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE. The Halloween social given by the Young People's Friendly society of Brooklyn was one of the most enjoyable events of the Halloween season. Jerome A. Loving presided over the literary program. Among those who took part were Miss Lulu Brown, Miss U. Hall, Charles Hensen and James Brown. In keeping with the old Dutch custom of celebrating Halloween the pleasure committee introduced a number of unique plays and games, which gave the members and invited guests a very clear idea of how the event is observed in Dutch society. The social was therefore instructive as well as pleasing. The Young People's Friendly society was organized a year ago by Mrs. George Phillips, with whom the idea THE MASTER OF THE MUSIC originated. The primary object of the society is to cultivate friendly relations between the young people of the community, especially those belonging to the various churches. While the movement originated with Mrs. Phillips and other members of the Siloam Presbyterian church, denominational lines are eliminated. The monthly social gatherings of the society are well attended, and it is building up a friendly social union among the young people of the community in a manner never before undertaken by any similar organization or yet by individuals. Mrs. Phillips deserves much credit for the unselfish split which she has infused into the organization and the many sacrifices which she has personally made for its success. Mr. Charles Heusco is one of the organization's most helpful members. He is a stanch Baptist as to religious faith, and his affiliation with the Friendly society is a good illustration of the kind of work the organization seeks to accomplish. The social was held at the residence of Miss Hose Buchanan, who is one of the charter members and a recognized leader among the younger state element in the community. Educational Interest in Illinois. The Illinois section of the national educational congress in Springfield has elected the following state officers for one year: President, Dr. J. H. Magge of Springfield; vice president, Dr. E. T. Cottman of Springfield; corresponding secretary, Professor E. A. Hamilton of Springfield; recording secretary, S. J. Williams of Monmouth; treasurer, Rufus Nelson of Chester. Coming Event. For Virginia Teachers.

"Two bottles Cured My Rheumatism" "I have been a sufferer from rheumatism for about two years, and have used many Injuries and patent medicines which gave me no relief. A lady friend of mine told me she had used your Liniment and found relief at once. I got two bottles and they cured me. I think it is the best Liniment a person can have in the house.

WOULD BE OF MORE VALUE Father O'Leary's Facetious Rejoinder to John Philpot Curran an Example of Real Wit. One day the famous John Philpot Curran, who was also very partial to the said corned mutton, did me the honor to meet him. To enjoy the society of such men was an intellectual treat. They were great friends and seemed to have a mutual respect for each other's talent, and, as it may easily be imagined, O'Leary versus Curran was no bad match. One day after dinner Curran sald to him: "Reverend father, I wish you were St. Peter." "And why, counselor, would you wish that I were St. Peter?" asked O'Leary. "Because, reverend father, in that case," said Curran, "you would have the keys of heaven, and you could let me in." "By my honor and conscience, counselor," replied the divine, "it would be better for you that I had the keys of the other place, then I could let you out." Curran enjoyed the joke, which he admitted had a good deal of justice in it—From Kelly's Reminiscences. A Condition, Not a Theory.
